In addition to the above services, EGL (Kadmar Group) arranged:
- Daily toolbox meetings, preparation of cargo safety zones, use of own safety equipment to avoid damages to the cargo, obtaining the road and traffic police permits
- Transporting was arranged in harsh winter conditions with heavy rain and in a very soft soil area.
The site was located on the coastal road 40 km from Damietta Port. The operation was particularly challenging due to many difficulties. Most difficulties were during jacking/ skidding which was not easy due to below reasons:
- The site operation/ execution area had very limited space for trailers to maneuver and very soft soil.
- Total skidding distance from the trailer position to the foundation was approximately 19 meters.
EGL project team achieved this success through careful planning and continued to impress the market with well-trained staff along with the use of latest fleet equipment and technology in Egypt.
